Re: How Much Will New Parking Lights Change the Look of Your Car?
I'd guess they'll be wicked. Have you considered clear side marker lights as well? I ask because on my silver car, the orange looked hideous, IMO. Should you be interested in the look, check my Car Details before for a pic.

Here is the front of my 92 on Memorial Day '09. It's been repainted since but you can see the need for new lites. Anytime the fogs lites look better than the driving /park lites you have a problem.

Re: How Much Will New Parking Lights Change the Look of Your Car?
Yes I have. If I make the conversion I will do both parking and side markers. The orange currently work because I only have Gold as a trim but on Silver I can see how they look stupid. I really want to change because of the fresh paint and how the lights can "clean" the total apperance of the front end up.

Re: How Much Will New Parking Lights Change the Look of Your Car?
I put bulbs in mine that are clear until the lights are turned on, then they become amber. A personal preference, but I prefer the cleaner look. I'm also running SilverStar headlamps.

Re: How Much Will New Parking Lights Change the Look of Your Car?

I just bought that set and will be putting it on as soon as I receive it. 150 bucks for all clear lights is not a bad price....
